Another big and major advice is that you should not act like you have when you do not have, that is, don't act rich when you are broke. You should not be ashamed to say you cannot afford something out of embarrassment. Another major reason why you should not act rich when you are broke, is so that people that intend to help you, will not look at you like you do not need help because of your act, when you truly do. I have met persons that their situation needs helping, but they are still too proud or not true enough to themselves to act sincerely, instead they keep telling lies and acting okay, truth is, nobody will force help on you, before someone can help you, you have to help yourself by accepting that you need help.
I don't know what you mean by "help," but I don't agree with you one hundred percent. If you read or watch the stories of people who have achieved success, then they never allow themselves the thought that they have no money, or they should make people feel pity. A person must achieve everything himself and not depend on someone else; this is the first rule of successful people. Acting like a rich person is not about spending your money right and left. Rich people always know how to manage their money, and just thinking that I deserve it and have it or will have it has always worked positively.
Unfortunately almost all of the people at the top had someone they partnered with, and we do not have that. Sure Elon may look like he did it all by himself, but he was partnered with other people on his earlier startups, and he just took over tesla, didn't founded it. Or Jeff Bezos, who partnered with capital firm to get his first 250k to get started, in 90's that was good enough to buy maybe 10 houses in some places, obviously many people had 250k and didn't build amazon out of it, but still not alone.

Or Bill Gates and his high school friend he founded microsoft with or mark zuckerberg or all the people he first worked with. All alone is not possible, nobody has all the talent to build a company all by themselves.

After seeing many surprising results, I wouldn't be surprised if Croatia and Morocco meet in the final. In fact, if we see such a thing, we will experience a world cup that we will talk about for many years. Nobody could have predicted that these two teams would win so many matches, since our predictions surprise us, I started to think that Morocco could be the champion.
Let's see what Portugal can do tonight Cheesy
Grin Grin ;Dhonestly this is so funny I had to laugh very hard after seeing this comment of yours. Last night I had that very thought but I laughed it out and told myself that I joke too much but I am surprised that I have seen someone else who has similar thoughts and I can say that there are two Jokers in the world myself and you. How can we think that Morocco are Crotia will play the final?
 Grin Grin Grin
Lol, it is not impossible neither. I mean sure Morocco would have to beat Portugal and then probably France, or maybe England, and then Croatia needs to beat Argentina as well. Morocco looks to be a bit more difficult, but it is just one game for Croatia and they could end up beating Argentina if they play the way they played against Brazil.

They played a very defensive game where they tried to find an open space to attack, and this took a long time but they managed to do it, and I am guessing that they could do that again and again. They are a very good tournament team and did finals last time and could try to do the same thing again this year as well.

do you think the bitocoin price will continue falling during the 2023, or we are actually seeing the bottom price? can you see bitcoin at $5,000 during 2023? $10,000 perhaps?
As per components of each cycle of bitcoin market, the 3rd year is usually known for sideways movements which means we are already at the times of bottom of current cycle of bitcoin markets hence you can expect prices to remain positive and sideways which may scale up to 75% of ATH. So, dreaming about anything below $16k may remain as a dream forever in my opinion.

I am one of the bitcoiner who believes into that fact 'history repeats itself'. It means bitcoin market may get affected by the current world economic situations of inflation, employment crisis and government regulations which may influence bitcoin markets to lead us to have some changes in usual bitcoin market scenarios.
1564  Economy / Speculation / Re: Say. Bitcoins, not "cryptos" on: December 10, 2022, 10:54:01 AM
Meanwhile bitcoin, the largest crypto is down 1% following the news about the scam. That's why I never talk to random people about bitcoin because I would have to explain that the crypto scam that was in the news a month ago is not the one that I'm buying.
You may not need to talk to random people but I guess we must need to talk to friends and colleagues to make them adapt bitcoin when they start showing interest on cryptocurrencies or crypto related news. I strongly believe that entire altcoin industry is working as marketing team to make people to get aware of the existence of cryptocurrencies either positively or notoriously. When an altcoin fail, we can show them how strong bitcoin remains compared to previous years.

Yeah, when we compare bitcoin with 2021, it is in negative growth whereas if we compare it by the times of 2020, we are in progress. We do not need to showcase ATHs but we can explain how halving makes bitcoin investors richer every time.

Atletico Madrid is a good team and they have a chance to do well in La-Liga. But their biggest tough opponents are Barcelona and Real Madrid, these two teams will be very difficult to beat. After the World Cup we will see the magnificent La Liga match.
Atletico was doing great jobs so many times even since  a few years ago. The only problem is when atletico was not able to compete with barcelona and real madrid. That makes atletico madrid seems pretty much underrated team in any season of la liga. It can be said that if la liga has been fully dominated by barcelona and real madrid since a few years ago. i think that if atletico can also compete for the trophy but the problem is this time performance from atletico madrid looks so crap at this moment.
That is understandable, you may not fight those two because they are just way too richer and that creates a gap. First of all the 1st and 2nd of the league gets so much more money than all the other teams, this is done purposely to give these two clubs more money, secondly ATM doesn't do well for long periods of time, if they were 1-2 for 5 years in a row, they would have become better.

And lastly, ATM is not loved by the world as much as the other two, which means less income. When you combine all these together you realize that it is a marvel ATM even kept up being this good for so long, being the third best team is still a big achievement for sure.

Luis Enrique leaves spain national team after the Spaniards got kickout of the tournament with penalty shootout. It's so not good to see big nation like Spain exits the world cup at knockout stages. The same thing happened to them in Russia 2018 world cup where the host knockout them out during penalty shootout. I guessed the spell still follows them up to Qater. There's nothing wrong with the team, but they need to step forward and attack their opponents rather than gaining all the possession of the game.
That makes sense a bit, I mean after all he should have been a bit better, at least beat Morocco you know? Not saying that he should have given them the world cup, it was obvious that the best they could do was semi-finals and if they beat Morocco and then Portugal, and then lost to France or England, that would have been fine.

But, losing to Morocco sealed the deal on him and that caused him to be sacked. He could say he resigned because of the bad result himself, but we all know it was like a mutual agreement, national team didn't want him to lead anymore and he realized that’s understandable request and offered his resignation because of that, if anyone insisted then he would have stayed.
1567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 08, 2022, 05:54:32 PM
Compared to the start of the season, they are much better now. So their opportunity to continue to approach the leader of the standings is open. It's only true that they have a defense that needs to be improved even more. Their defense isn't quite ready to continue the chase if they can't improve on that position. to lose 22 goals in 15 games is something they shouldn't get for a team of their size. With that many goals conceded, it doesn't show that they are one of the strong teams in Serie A.
In last night's match Inter surprised their fans and tried to take advantage of the opportunities that existed to score a lot of goals until 4-0 without mercy. At least this victory gave additional good enough points to get into the top five of the standings but still requires effort hard to take first place.
On exhibition games like these it doesn't really matter if you win or not, or doesn't matter how many goals you score. These games don't matter and it's only for condition purposes. These games could be without viewership, and no tv, and just on practice pitch and could still be fine, all it does is to keep players in shape and nothing more.

I know people want these to mean something about the future and for the real games, but they have no results or impact at all. I know it’s going to be a bit of a difficult situation to be in, and I know fans would love to hear that their team is amazing, but this meant nothing, absolutely zero meaning whatsoever.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 08, 2022, 04:24:21 PM
squad in the national team and the club is different. even though the club has several players who play for the national team, it is not certain that they can make the game so strong. especially if with a different coach. Of course, many factors can influence a team to be very strong.
Bruno Fernandes has indeed shown very good quality in this world cup. and several players in the Premier League who defended their respective national teams also showed their abilities. some look better, and some just look normal.
I feel like he is good in United as well, not unlike the national team. Bruno fernandes always showed promises of being as good as Kevin De Bruyne and people still do not show him the respect that he deserves, before Ronaldo came in, he was playing at an elite level at the club and nearly considered the leader of the bunch, then Ronaldo showed up last year, and obviously got a bit more attention and we all forgot how good he was.

his is the same club that finished 2nd one year before, so they are not inherently bad somehow, they just had one bad season. All those players in the national teams play good, because United is a good club normally.
1569  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why speculate when you can be at peace with Bitcoin on: December 07, 2022, 07:28:32 PM
Buy the dip and sell at high - that is the strategy that mostly had followed. Unfortunately, they got to struggle in holding which makes them fail to sell high and just sell low. I can see that living here and investing in crypto is hard to make peace of our mind especially if we keep looking and checking the market chart. Because the more we are updated to everyday changes, the more it affects our mindset and emotions. That is why we should not just focus on here but also to have other stuff to enjoy in order to divert our minds.
People who do not realize that they should be buying it is this low, and instead sell because it is dropping is the reason why we make profits, so do not worry about them. I am happy with the situation, let them struggle with holding, let the weak hands go, people who buy at these prices and have diamond hands will end up with a lot more profit in the long run and it should be fine.

I know it is not going to be easy to handle, and I know that it is going to take a while to get used to, but people who lose money during this period loses to us, and that is what I aim at becoming, the person who makes profit thanks to these markets, the bear period is the biggest way to make money.
1570  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Share your Crypto experience. on: December 07, 2022, 06:28:32 PM
I have now been investing in Crypto for 10 months and its been a test of patience thats for sure, feel like I have entered in a bad year with lots going on causing these bad times and low prices we are currently seeing.
Nope, you didn't come in a bad year. It's just that you got in too early. 10 months ago would be around Jan. Price was still high then compared to what it's at the present moment. However, now is a great time to get into cryptos when it seems the tokens have taken severe beatings and what remains is for them to start surging.
I would disagree with him to be fair, he started at the best possible year of all, I mean sure if he bought 10 years ago that would have been epic, but if he started a year before that, he would have bought at the top and then lose it all. In October 2021 we had the peak, if he bought anywhere there or before, he would have crashed.

So for the past 10 months, there is a drop but it is a steady drop and not from the peak, the peak was 13-14 months ago. That means anyone who started after that would be buying cheaper and if they hold it and sell later, they would be making a good return and could make a big profit when the time comes for them to sell at next ATH for example.

I doubt with Arsenal consistency without have Gabriel Jesus after confirming injured with his national team and absent until World Cup 2022 over, seems Arsenal have already if loss Gabriel Jesus and need to find who are the best replacement choose for position leaving by Gabriel. Arsenal actually still have potential player at World Cup with Bukayo Saka but he has different position with Gabriel Jesus.

Manchester City still lucky team right now in Primer League because their player Kevin De Bruyne have eliminated from World Cup, but still have potential with other player like João Cancelo worry will injured or not. Several team in Primer League have many their player existing in World Cup, just hope and pray they can back to the team without injury.
I decline to imagine Jesus was the only reason they got so good so far, I mean he is a good player but he didn't turn this club from 5th to premier league leaders all by himself, it was a team effort and of course it is not good that he is injured, hope he will come back soon so we could see a title race instead of City bulldozing everyone on their path and get another title, that has become a bit boring.

But, I think even without Jesus that still means Arsenal will play decently, and if they could get a good decent striker that might work very well for them but only possible if Jesus is out for rest of the season or something, if not then they will wait for him.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar world cup Final Predictions on: December 07, 2022, 11:09:42 AM
Spain going out this early was definitely a surprise, but looking back, Morocco ended up first in their group, with 7 points, and still undefeated.

Only The Netherlands, England, and Morocco are undefeated so far in the entire tournament. That's not just luck for Morocco, they have shown they actually have a proper team.

My guess is that France will end up in the final against Brazil.

Or if England manages to win, England will probably face Brazil in the final.

Basically France vs England is probably one the best matches of the last 8.
It does look like that is the only game people have no idea how it will end, but I also think that there is a chance we could see other games to have a shocking result as well. Did we expected Spain to lose to Morocco? Of course not, and did we see Japan going out of the group stages and not Germany?

All in all we could still see something socking. Like Croatia who failed to beat Japan in regular time and only got success at penalties could suddenly end up beating Brazil, not impossible and we should be ready for it. I wouldn't wager too much money on these bets, still bet some of course but not like all-in style just because it looks probable.

As we all know, this MVP ladder is updating every single week and it's not surprising that Anthony Davis's name has surfaced on the list after his good productions and their team, the Lakers, has been impressive as well for having a 8-2 run in the last 10 games. Together with Davis's name, Sabonis also appeared in the top 10 in the expense of Ja Morant and Jaylen Brown.
Yes, it does change weekly and it will be an unpredictable season on who will be on the top of that ladder.
I am rooting for Luka Doncic to claim it, I am super amazed at how skillful he is and how he can handle everything, from offense to being the playmaker of the team. Although that will be a little biased since I am a fan of his.  Cheesy
But Tatum seems to be not backing down yet who now averages at 30 ppg, the rebounding category will make a big difference as Luka gets more rebound every game.
To be fair Luka getting it at this age would be proof of 2 things. First of all, any team who passed on him made a huge mistake, that is already known to be fair, but it was obvious even at that time, but would be confirmed now as well.

Secondly, Dallas needs to do a better job surrounding him with better players as well, this kid has been around for just a few years now, and already playing like he would win a championship if you just put the right pieces around him, and that is a big deal, not many people can do that, not at that age at least. He should be given a bit of talent around him, maybe another star, so that he could win the title and his talents wouldn't go to waste.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: December 06, 2022, 04:45:02 PM
Currently team having by Graham Potter with Brighton Albion I don't sure he can success with Chelsea without any experienced yet with big top team and not get trophy in his career. What have been worry is coming true right now with Chelsea can't win in last five matches and have beaten last three matches in a row at Primer League. I think Chelsea management have give huge pressure for Graham Potter if want long term existing at Chelsea actually Champion League trophy become realistic chance.

Its looks domestic league bit difficult reach to top standing after remaining many points with Arsenal, but Chelsea still have opportunity to win Champion League and learned more what the best achievement from current Chelsea manager Tuchel success in the first season with Chelsea become the winner in Champion League.
Indeed, Chelsea performed well in the UCL. They have a chance to win like Tuchel. But with the current conditions I doubt it. I don't think current players can compete with Man City, Munich or other big clubs. In 1/16 they will play Dortmund. I don't underestimate Chelsea, but Dortmund can always surprise. Chelsea must be vigilant. Even though that game is still a long way off, there is a chance Chelsea make a big transfer maybe that could change the chances of getting to the Final.
I think it is clear that we are not going to end up with too many big things, we are going to end up with a bit of a problem if Chelsea faces a big name club. The only possible way for them to go on is if they face easier opponents until a point, but even that will not be that easy to handle, most likely outcome will be them going back home.

Winning UCL multiple times in short span of time is not something many clubs can do, usually clubs don't win UCL that easily, so they won it just 2 years ago, and they do not have to win it again this year, sure they will want to, but they can fail and that's fine. They should focus on being in top 4 at premier league.

I don't think that we should avoid already a site that has no ANN thread. You can't apply that argument to fiat online casinos where in the first place, there's no discussion place about them or we will see them at other forums with gambling sections.

A reputable gambling site, either a fiat casino or a crypto casino surely has great reviews if we did research when we consider using them.

As long as every review we will encounter about that site that has no ANN thread, we should be good to go. But if not sure, then stick with those reputable gambling sites here that have an ANN thread.
I think this is crypto and in the crypto world if you have the chance to wager on a place that has not just an ANN topic here, but also someone who works here as well, that would be a lot better. Most big places have people here, stake has symphonized, sportsbet.io has Steve, and many other places have a staff member that replies and that is good.

I am not saying that all others are bad, they might be good too, but why would I pick them when I could simply just focus on the ones that have people here and if I ever face a problem I would just be writing here to the ANN topic and get a response? Or pm that person and get a response again? Just the ticket number would be enough in most cases.
1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 05, 2022, 11:48:34 AM
I think that Japan is a good team, but don't get carried away by them beating Spain. In that game Spain probably never wanted to win because then they would probably face Brazil in the quarters. Of course that no one from Spain will admit it but I really think that they could have beat Japan if they wanted to. Because of that (and the fact that I'm Croatian Grin ) I think that Croatia will win in today's game. Maybe Croatia is not as big favorite as France and England were yesterday but I think they are a better team than Japan.

As for Brazil vs. South Korea game, there's not much to say. Brazil is probably too strong for South Korea and I really don't see how they could lose today's game.
It is obvious that Brazil is not even on the same league as South Korea, in fact it is even weird for them to face at this stage, would have expected South Korea to not go above group stages to be fair, but it has happened so we have to watch the game.

I guess that it would be a big domination, and yeah they are missing Jesus, but there is a chance Neymar could come back and even if he doesn't, they could miss Neymar and Jesus together and would still be doing fine. I am going to bet on 2.5+ goals, lets see what will happen but if there are 3 goals total in the game then I would win the bet, just to bet on Brazil doesn't give good return.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 05, 2022, 08:36:44 AM
at the age of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 37 years old, it is very difficult for him to compete with Europe's top top players and now top European teams are reluctant to use his services because of the high fees and also his declining performance.
I think the right step for him is to accept the offer from Al Nassr, he will earn a very high fee and it is important for him that he will retire in just a few more seasons.

at an old age of course there is nothing to pursue except to collect a lot of money and enjoy it when you retire, with a very large offer from Al Nassr I think it will be difficult to refuse and very difficult for other teams to compete for Ronaldo.

now nothing will be sustainable about this rumor because Cristiano Ronaldo is now focused on the Qatar world cup and let's wait what will happen after this world cup event is over.
It is basically about money vs success for him at this point. Big top teams of Europe will still want him, and I mean like even the best ones, look at Real Madrid right now, having hard time with Benzema gone at times, and they all love him as well.

So, he could still go back there, but he can' ask for 20-30 million a year, that's the problem and that he needs to drop by a lot. He already has a lot of money, he doesn't "need" it, so he could do that and accept like 5-10 million and even the jersey sales would be higher than that, so it will be fine. However, if he prefers money, there is nothing like having 500 million for 2.5 years, that's insane amount of money to say no to, like how could you ever say no to that.

Brazil might not suffer too much from Gabriel Jesus' absence. However, the injury is a major setback for Arsenal, who is aiming to make a strong EPL title push.

The latest update on Neymar, he recently updated his Twitter account, and it appears that he is back in practice. And he added that he feels good. But Tite might order Neymar to take an additional break. Brazil can defeat Korea, in my opinion, even without Neymar. However, I would not be shocked if he will show up in the quarterfinals.
This is also true for reverse. Gabriel Jesus may come back better for Arsenal, his injury may not be a huge one, and Neymar may get injured again for pushing himself hard to play in the world cup and not be ready for PSG as well. I feel like Brazil is the winner in either case, if Jesus is bad and Neymar is good, that's great for them, if Neymar was bad and Jesus was good that would be great for them too.

Now they are both not entirely sure and yet they do have players who are good in either case, and they will win. At the very worst case put Richarlison at striker and just watch him score, they would be good in any case. They just have way too deep roster.

Having some sort of idea behind what could be done in the future is the key point here. I am not saying that it will be a great idea to invest today, but it would be great idea to invest before it goes up. I do not know when it will go up, so if you think that it will go up in march, and want to wait until February, that's fine as well, nobody can say anything about that.

But if you are too late, and it goes up to 30k before you invest, that would be a shame and you will regret that. So, even if you do not want to invest today, just make sure that you are not too late because that would allow you to be a lot better and could make a great profit in the future, like 2024 or even later.
